I like the original Badfinger version. Def Leppard's version was merely trying to sound the same. They didn't make it their own with their sound. But, I don't know the purpose of recording their song. Either way, I enjoyed this selection and it brought back some great memories.

Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Clueless!!! I fully agree with you. For the original was so much better.

When I was looking for the Def Leppard version, I saw a link on YouTube to Day After Day by Def Leppard, and I wondered if it was a remake of Badfinger's. It wasn't, but it is most definitely a genuine Def Leppard classic that I have been missing out on all of these years.

Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Sandie!!! I am rather surprised that you like Def Leppard. For I would think that most of their songs are a little too hard rock for your taste, but they do have several ballads that I can't imagine why anyone would not like them.

Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Lin!!! No, I missed that episode, as I have almost every episode of The Apprentice, but I have seen some interviews where they appeared rather aloof, which is putting it kindly.

However, a VH-1 (I think) rockumentary portrayed them in a very sympathetic light, and it could be even argued that they are one of most honorable bands ever. For they refused to replace Rick Allen, the drummer, after he lost an arm in a car accident, and they stuck with lead guitarist, Steve Clark, until he lost his fight with alcoholism and drug addiction.

Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!! Badfinger did all-right, but when competing for airtime with the likes of The Beatles, The Who and The Rolling Stones, someone had to be slighted. You are probably already well aware of it, but next weeks face-off will be Badfinger against Harry Nilsson, with a song that he is very well known for that was actually theirs to begin with.

Since the Blogger spam filter has been found sorely lacking lately, I will start moderating comments. Be assured that I am only interested in deleting spam. So, if you feel a need to take me to task over something—even anonymously, go ahead and let 'er rip, and I will publish it as soon as I can.

TMI?

The purpose of this site has changed somewhat. For it was originally meant to help clear-up much of the confusion that now exists concerning our Heavenly Father and the righteousness of all of His most awesome ways, especially in regards to the very close and personal relationship that we can have with Him in this day and age. It still is, but in a much more subtle way. Now, if any of this has you curious, please visit FishHawk Droppings, which is where all of the books that I have been given to publish by our Heavenly Father (so far) have been placed in the order that they are meant to be read. By the way, the definition of a crackerhead is someone, who crumbles under pressure, regardless of whether real or imagined.
